[rant]Look, I lead a fairly scheduled life. I wake up every weekday morning at 6AM (if I'm lucky) to get ready for work. I go to work. I get home almost every day by 6PM. I fiddle fart on the computer here and there most evenings, an hour or more depending on if my wife is working that day or not (12 hour shifts means she gets home much later than I do). At no point in the history of this fucking computer having Windows 10 on it have I been on the computer between the hours of say 1AM to 5AM. Ever. Why the fuck do you think I want to update at 6PM? If you did it during the day I could forgive you since I'm only on in the daytime on the weekends. But no, your AI scheduling fuckstick says 6PM is the time it will be least likely to upset my schedule. Are you paying any goddamn attention at all? Who wrote this motherfucker? Did they use COBOL? Are they saving active times in a fixed width text file somewhere and forgot how to parse the damn thing?

Also, don't present me with a link to pick a different time if you're just going to lock down the screen that lets me set a time. Don't nag me every hour on the hour. If I go fix a sandwich and come back to you rebooting for updates it makes me want to go back to Linux.[/rant]

"I think computer viruses should count as life. Maybe it says something about human nature, that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. Talk about creating life in our own image."--Stephen Hawking

eBay does the same thing . . .I order a car part and suddenly eBay starts bombarding me with parts for all sorts of cars.
